We haven't heard much from Nets players regarding Jason Kidd and the attempted power grab that led to him bolting for the Bucks (it is the offseason, after all).

That is, until now.

In an interview with Russian tabloid SovSport (via NetsDaily.com), forward Andrei Kirilenko called out his former head coach and the ex-Knicks guard:

"As he has previously, Kirilenko seemed to diss Kidd, at one point suggesting he may not have wanted to deal with the pressure of coaching in New York, saying, 'So the pressure is huge. And Kidd couldn’t handle it. Or maybe didn’t want to.' ... 'Basically he was not able to do much of anything, if you look at the big picture -- we have to admit that fact.There were objective reasons. Our starting center, Brook Lopez, injured himself early and was out for the whole season. There were health problems with other players. But the serious goals set before the club were not cancelled. We were serious about fighting for the title.'"

Kirilenko then heaped some compliments on new head coach Lionel Hollins:

"First of all, Lionel knows how to work with veteran players. He showed that with the older players at Memphis two years ago, when he took the Grizzlies to the playoff semi-finals. So, his ability will be put to good use at the Nets. At the same time, he has a smart approach to young players. That will certainly be of use for Seryoga Karasev. Lionel won’t just let you on the court. If you’ve earned it, go out there and play. If not, work harder in practice until you’re ready to fight. But keeping young players marinating on the bench for eternity and holding back just in case is not something he’ll do."

This could be the only honesty we hear about Kidd -- expect Kirilenko's teammates to talk about "moving forward" and not "looking into the past" as the NBA season approaches.
